The Waymo driver handles the task of driving in three basic steps: sense, solve, and go. It's the way we describe the highly complex process of acquiring information, processing it, and moving through the world safely. The sensors that the Waymo driver uses are incredibly powerful using a combination of lidar, cameras, and radar. It can see up to three football fields in any direction and can detect sirens from emergency vehicles, which allows the Waymo driver to visualize the world around it in milliseconds to a high degree of accuracy.
